A TEA ESTATE IN CHINA.

Ga the way up L saw from my chair
line Of graceful, barefoot woman follow
ing each other down steep clayey and
stony path, carrying baskets. These were
tea pluckers on their way to ''the store,
q large building which is the storehouso
or barn of the plantation. There, after
each woman or child's ingathering is
weighed and the amount credited to her,
the leaves are spread upon the garnet floor
to wither. Next they are taken to long
table which has a beautiful polish and is
stained to lovely mahogany by tea juice.
4 row of men stand on esch side Of the
table. The withered leaves are brought
down from the garnet and distributed III
pies, pile for each two opposite work
ers. Then they begin long, monoto
nous, perpetual kneading roll. You
would think 1t IS nothing to do, but the
same muscles are exercised, of the back
as they bend from side TO side aud of the
arms and hands az they manipulate the
amount they can manage IN hand, push
ing or kneadiDg Ii as they roll it off first
to the northeast, as you might say, and
then to the northwest. 1t is warm work,
bat the heat IS nothing to that IN tea
machine working stores, where the tenn
perature is kept high to accelerate the
processes.
Every few moments they take up the
handful they have been rolling and scatter
it down; then collect it and knead it
again. The scattering is done that the
leaves may not be ciogged together. l
lad been wondering how the moist,
macerated mass could ever dry into the
separated leaves and fine fragments of
oar tea canisters. And | had not under
stood how, when they pluck leaves from
a bush and put them indiscriminately into
one basket, the youngest and smallest,
ana those little larger, and the largest,
could be assorted so as to make the DIFF.
terent grades of tea. The table process
made II plain. When they have rolled it
long cough the whole is mixed together
md reappOrtlOned in piles between each
pair OF men a. before. The second time
hey kneGd it much harder. There are
five minutes for the men between each
rolling, and they can slip out and swallow
alittie rice if they choose, but the majority
eat nothing uutil after their work is over,
when they have only their rice and cur
ries. They are far from being german
lizers, these slender limbed people; nor
2re they sensual race, as compared
with occidentais. So sensitive are they
made by this light diet that hot curry
stimulates their spirits and sets their
tongues into talking equal to the effect

1t Surprised Hooley.

When ''Undine" was done at Hooley's
in Chicago in 1872 it opened to $500,
when Hooley had expected three times
as much and be thought he was ruined.
1T cost more than that to raise the
curtain he walled. land tomorrow
night we'll play to 500, and Thursday
to $50, and by the end OF the week we'l
be hiring people 10 come in and keep US
company. And I've got the thing for
four weeks
He went home sick, and never showed
his nose about the theatre again until
after the curtain was up Thursday night
Then he came in blue as an indigo-bag,
and with a jaw on him as long as a hoe
handle. Just as he entered the outside
door man was making a big kick,
verbally. through the bOx-office window
at Joe Reynolds. who was selling
tickets. The man had paid a dollar
and thought he ought to have seat for
it.
Il haven't got seat left," said Reyn-
ODDS
What the - do you mean?n roar
ed Hooley, rushing up at the moment.
why don't YOU give the gentleman a
seat? Is this the way you treat a pat
ron of the house and friend of mine
when I'm away?"
But Mr.. Hooley. can't find a seat
for him
You can't! Then I'll find somebody
to sell tickets here who can. You're too
blamed lazy 20 give him seat. That's
what's the matter with you. I'll fill
your place with live man tomorrow. ="
The man, hearing his cause so vigor-
ously taken up, stood back and said no.
thing.
Il can't give him a seat, or even a
camp-chair," protested Reynolds; but
Hooley in growing rage swore that he
would not have friend of his treated
SO. In the middle of one of his TRADES,
however, he caught some of Reynolds
words that caused him to to stop short,
with an astOnished and doubtful 'Eh?"
We've got LOO in the house, and
there ism t standing-room left"
Hooley wheeled right around upon
the stranger, gripped his arm, and gave
him shove toward the door. vociferat-
ing: Get out of here. You've been
making trouble about here long enough.
Go along before your backs broke. s"
And as he spoke he bounced him out
The man was so astounded that he
never chirped word in reply, but went.

The best medical writer's claim that the
successful remedy for LasaI catarrh mnst
be non-irritating, easy OF application, and
one that will. by its own action, reach all
the remote sores and liberated surfaces
The history Of the efforts to treat catarrh
during the past few years obliges u to
admit that only one remedy has CON-
pletely met these conditions, and that is
Ely's Cream Balm. This safe aud pleas
ant remedy has mastered catarrh as
nothing else has ever done, and both
physicians and patients freely concede this
fact. Tie more distressing symptoms
quickly yield to it.

One often hears the expression that
horse don't know it's strength That is
mistake. A horse is fully aware of its
strength, but, owing to popularity of
its optic lens, it is kept in a constant
state of intimidation. A horses eye
magnifies nearly six diameters, and a
man looks like giant to it. Queer, isn't
it? but true. A series of curious expert
ments recently made by Partisan savants
have established it beyond any question.
That accounts for many of the odd fits of
fright the best horses are subject to.

EDWIN BOOTHS VOW.

Ii is learned that Washington the
atrlcal manager has recently made strong
endeavors to get Edwin Booth to come
to Washington and play an engagement,
writes a Washington correspondent to
the st. Louis Republican. He failed,
however, to iudnce the great tragedian'to
make au appearance in this city, and il
is said because Mr.. Booth has made a
solemn VOW never to appear upon tie
stage ID the national capital. 1t is fact,
at any rate, that since the assassination t
President Lincoln by Wilks Booth, Ed
Win Booth has never played III Washing
ton, and 1t is believed has never even
been IL the city. He comes regular dur
ing his yearly engagements to Baltimore,
but that is as near to Washington as he
ever gets. Tie fact that he will never
play III Washington under any circum
stances has become SO well known that it
has become the custom of Washington
theater goers who are anxious to see
Booth to make up parties and go over to
Baltimore in order to attend the per
formances there. So many people go to
Baltimore for that purpose that the rail
roads have been in the habit OF running
special trains nightly during the Booth
enga cement. Booth played in Balti-
more last week, and the theater manager
who endeavored to tempt him to change
his resolution in the matter OF playing in
Washington, went to Baltimore to see
him. He took with him a number of
letters from prominent people in Wash
ington, including, it is said, many from
distinguished officers of the army and
navy and quite number from congress-
men. He assured Mr.. Booth of a most
cordial reception, and offered to give him
a guaranty that weeks receipts would
aggregate $4,000, bu; the actor was in
flexible, and his VOW will remain un-
broken. He will not play in Washing
ton under any circumstances.
